Just a reminder that ne*l didn’t have much to do with dbda…our boys just sort of showed up in a comic he worked on and he didn’t do much of anything on the show…plus the sandman (both tv and comic) had way more people working on it then just him. Good omens (book) was much more terry Prattchet then him and the tv show is much more then just him. As for other works of his (ie. stardust) we just gotta suffer.

You can still, of corse, read the books but make sure to get them from somewhere like a used book store or lent by a friend. Plus there are always other places to read his books that don’t give money to him…

I know that a lot of people looked up to him and he helped many people to accept themselves and that it hurts to loose someone who you looked up to (I���m treating it as if he is dead because my previous image of him was brutally stabbed to death). But he is only a man and there are many other people in the world.

If any one wants to talk about this (wants to rant, wants to just keyboard smash in anger, wants to cry [however you choose to express crying digitally]) feel free to do so. Or if you have anything to add, you can talk about that too. I know writing usually helps me to get through emotions and feel a bit better. Maybe it will work for you too.

btw if you have any other creators who have caused a similar situation, feel free to talk about that as well.

Reasons why I motivate myself to work on my Good Omens fanfictions:

So I can take a certain hyper popular ship everyone loves, but I despise, and tear it apart, smash it with a hammer, and set it on fire for my own entertainment. 😊 It's not like someone will do it for me.

I would say because Lady!Crowley deserves more love, but horrific things happen to her, so, I'd be a hypocrite (spoiler alert, she's fine in the end).

Anathema and Newt's family keep a raccoon named Shovels, that they dye black, and pretend is a cat.

I have four ideas put down, so far. One's an actual detective story. Two of them are crossovers with... Legion, of all things (one came to me in a dream). All involve my Antichrist OC, who wasn't supposed to have anything to do with the GO universe, until I had that damn dream.

Another motivatior - so I can work with Maxine (the Antichrist OC) more. After a long consideration, I decided to pair her up with War (in non-crossovers, in those she's with Michael), which is problematic because they're cousins (War's mother is Satan's sister)... You know, whatever. Nobody from Earth knows. It isn't anything uncommon for royalty, either. 🤣 Besides, they're both women (offspring from donors, so no biological threats), and they didn't grow up together. I just... I adore my Antichrists. They're everything to me. Max, forgive me for getting you involved in this madness of an universe, the fanfiction gods compelled me.

Honestly, my other OCs, too. Max's best friend, Cthylla (daughter of Dagon, and... You can guess. He has a habit of oversleeping), her cat Squid, Madonna Maria (a literal jackal with vile temper and a fondness for whiskey, Maxine's biological mother;), Titan the Hellhound, Agnes Device-Pulsifer, Francisco Rossi (the Second Beast, who loathes Aziraphale even more than I do, for absollutely no reason)...

Off with Pollution, Pestilence is being reinstated to his rightful place.

I'm eager to work with canon characters like War, Michael (Legion and GO version), and Hastur - all of who, I adore

I am kind of a hater in this fandom. In the end, I've realized, fanfiction must be written for oneself, not the fandom. I will not apologize for doing what I want, with characters (and their genders) in a fic. Nor for heavily focusing on my OCs (even making them the main focus - it's something that I love doing).

The only thing I do feel some guilt for? I remember Neil Gaiman saying he likes stories where women saves themselves, which I completely agree with, yet Lady Crowley gets saved by others, most of the times... I guess, she's just in situations nobody could save themselves from. Now, her healing is another can of worms maybe that could be counted as her saving herself).

Oh... I hope no one who reads this took it as me attacking them, or mocking them, for liking what I don't. I kind of sounded like someone's evil grandma, threatening to throw their favorite toys in the trash can. 🤣 I'm just writing down my thoughts in an edgy manner. Think of this as a literal angsty, but hopeful diary page.

When I said I'm a "hater", I meant I personally have a very odd, unconventional relationship with Good Omens and it's characters. It's a... "I don't like how you're portraying biblical mythology, but I will always love you". I love Neil Gaiman. I don't know anyone im the fandom anymore, but I all the hearts to them, too. I'm just the designated class contrarian. My stories, like all fanfiction, are seperate universes from canon (and I mean no disrespect to it; the fanfiction wouldn't be here if canon wasn't).

Why do I keep hurting Crowley? I don't know, my relationship with the character is very complicated also. I find him annoying, but I named my stuffed snake after him. 🐍

Why did I write this down and post it? Because I've noticed I'm more likely to get something done after I get on a barrel, and anounce I will. These stories are so fun to write... Fine, that was kind of a lie. I'm picking at Ch. 1 of the dream storyline, and it makes me want to cry.

P.S. - I didn't see season 2, and I have no intention to (though my mom is badgering me to watch it; she's also scolding me for hurting Crowley).

No offense but I imagine the timelines crossing and funny shit happening like MK1 Bi-Han is on how Lin Kuei is blood and stuff meanwhile prior timeline Cyrax is sweating because he's from fucking Botswana. The man isn't even from the same continent and has no known roots so it'd make stuff really awkward.

Oh, I’m sure there would be many hilarious results with timelines crossing but I feel MK1!Bi-Han meeting the original Lin Kuei, especially in the scenario when he is the “visiting” part, would be a great cultural shock if not a very confusing experience, depending how long he would stay there. For one, I feel he could have a lot of issues with the original Grandmaster, even though both share the idea that Lin Kuei must be independent. 

The one thing that Lin Kuei as an assassin clan is apparently much better than Liu Kang’s version is the openness for outsiders who proved themselves worthy to join - and there is really something disturbing about that difference. At the same time, the meeting between Bi-Han and original Cyrax (or Smoke) could go differently depending if MK1!Cyrax retained its original ethnicity or not. If MK1!Cyrax is still born in Botswana but has a Lin Kuei parent or is descendent from Lin Kuei in further line, then he still can be counted as one with Lin Kuei blood. If he is from Botswana and was adopted into a clan or joined on his own at some point, then MK1!Bi-Han’s accusation toward his brother Tomas makes no sense if there are non-biologically related members of the clan anyway. However, since Bi-Han and Cyrax are implied to be on good terms in Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), to the point Cyrax is absolutely loyal to Sub-Zero, then I feel whatever he has Lin Kuei blood or not in original timeline won’t matter at the end of day. It may surprise or confuse MK1!Bi-Han, but that is still Cyrax - and MK9!Cyrax was very angry about Sub-Zero's death so there is a high chance he still has personal loyalty to Sub-Zero or shares the comradeship with the cryomancer. Also, Cyrax from the previous timeline(s) is not someone you can talk down to and he will accept it meekly, so I imagine the moment MK1!Bi-Han would cross the accepted line and talk anything against Cyrax’s right to Lin Kuei membership, the man would challenge him to kombat or call him out on the nonsense. 

Though whether Cyrax has the right to the Lin Kuei warrior title or not feels like minor concern compared to fact there is a different ruling family (Sektos’s father) and the looming threat of C.I. Projekt is aimed at counterparts of Bi-Han’s family (Kuai Liang & Tomas) and friends (Cyrax & Sektor). So I like to think he would be more busy dealing with that than anything else.

Getting pretty sick of tech trends y'know? A few months ago every company thought blockchain and NFTs were the way of the future—they we're gonna revolutionize everything. Now nobody even mentions them. Now it's AI that's the hot new thing. Every company is sure that AI is gonna be the future. Discord is adding a chatbot, TikTok is adding AI filters, Salesforce put out sales and marketing AI.

Like I don't doubt that AI technology will legitimately change many things (unlike blockchain), but I'm so tired of it being shoved in our faces so much and presented as this year's future of everything. I just can't shake the feeling that these companies are going to dump their AI projects the same way they did their blockchain projects when something shiny and new comes along.

Wow, be careful what you wish for. Sabi ko sana may co-working space na walking distance sa bahay. At nagkaroon nga (with reservations). Free! Hindi nga lang walking distance dito. Nasa Makati. Hahaha.

Actually, hindi ako sure kung pwede bang pumunta lang ako dun randomly or for events lang ba siya. It aims to promote collaboration daw kasi between clinicians, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Though sabi rin, come visit us and use the space for studies, meetings, events, etc.

Light at The End of the Tunnel: OC Celebrates The Winter Holidays

"View of the Saturn V S-IC-5 (first) flight stage static test firing at the S-IC-B1 test stand at the Mississippi Test Facility (MTF), Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Begirning operations in 1966, the MTF has two test stands, a dual-position structure for running the S-IC stage at full throttle, and two separate stands for the S-II (Saturn V third) stage. It became the focus of the static test firing program. The completed S-IC stage was shipped from Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) to the MTF. The stage was then installed into the 407-foot-high test stand for the static firing tests before shipment to the Kennedy Space Center for final assembly of the Saturn V vehicle. The MTF was renamed to the National Space Technology Laboratory (NSTL) in 1974 and later to the Stennis Space Center (SSC) in May 1988."
